...My dream car would be a 1969 Chevy Camaro with a 350 engine and a four speed transmission. The name "Camaro" came from a French word for friend. The decision on the name came down to the last minute, with most of the world sure the car would be named, "The Panther." But the name Camaro fit in with other Chevy names- Corvette, Chevelle, Chevy 2, and Corvair. The main reason the Camaro was introduced was because of the huge success of the Ford Mustang. The Camaro was roughly the same size as the Mustang, a little wider and based more on high performance. The Camaro is one of the last remaining muscle cars still in production today. It is only fitting that buyers still expect maximum performance from their Camaros. It is that expectation that has kept the Camaro alive for all these years, while many other cars have faded away, lost in memory. The Mustang GT only offered the 289- cubic inch or a 390- cubic inch V8 in 1967. The Camaro rolled out with 302, 327, 350, and 396 cubic inch V8's The Camaro's style was much smoother as well. The introduction of the Camaro threw pony car (Mustang) development into frenzy. Before the Camaro, the Mustang and Barracuda were not quite considered full muscle cars. Most serious performance enthusiasts still opted for intermediate sized GTO's or the Chevelle Super Sports (SS). The Camaro changed the image of those sport coupes. The Z28 and the stout SS-396 were more than just a stylish ride. Under the hood Camaros were well respected...

...My Dream Car My dream car that I built was the SL63 AMG Roadster with an exterior color mars red and black interior with silver trim. The tire hubcaps were all black. If I am going to dream, I might as well dream big! I added many different options to the base package including customized colors to the exterior/interior, drivers assistant package, AMG performance package, Mbrace package (includes many different features such as remote locks, roadside assistance, mobile apps, ect), as well as a vehicle cover and cargo tray area. The base package for this vehicle costs $147,300. After adding all the accessories and features the total came to $177,178. The difference between the standard and customized price would be $29,878. This also included the delivery fee of $925. I think there would be way too many combinations to count. The tool on the Mercedes Benz website is tailored to the individual to create their own unique vehicle that meets their own individual needs. Even when making the choice simpler, there are over 50 different variety of vehicles you could create. According to a web article wrote by Mahmud, A. (2011) “Mercedes Benz marketing strategy was focused on comfort, stability, security, and ambiance in their models due to stiff competition in the car global market.” Their order winner is luxury and/ or performance. They are not interested in building something fast or powerful, but something that engineer automobiles that combine the many facets of performance...

...My Dream Car My dream car is made by Ferrari. Ferrari has always been a symbol of speed and prestige as well as elegance. It has even been described as a ‘passion on wheels’. Owning a Ferrari means that you have arrived in style. Only the very rich can even dream of owning a Ferrari. The Ferrari motorcar company is the brainchild of Enzo Ferrari, an Italian who started his career as a small carmaker. The 125 Sport was the first ever Ferrari motorcar. Enzo Ferrari did not intend to build road cars, when he formed the Scuderia Ferrari in 1929. After World War I, Ferrari became a driver on the Alfa-Romeo team. Following a victory at Ravenna, the family of Francesco Baracca, presented him with a small charred plaque. Baracca had died in combat and the plaque was one of the parts of the Ferrari emblem. The Ferrari emblem with a yellow shield with a black horse in the middle is recognized across the world of automobile fanatics. This prancing horse became the symbol of Ferrari and it appeared on all the cars he drove. Ferrari automobiles have been featured in many films and television shows. The Ferrari 250 was in the 1986 movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off driven by Matthew Broderick, the Ferrari 512 driven by Steven McQueen was in the 1971 film Le Mans, the Ferrari Mondial was in 1985 movie Weird Science driven by John Hughes, the Ferrari Daytona appeared in the Miami Vice television shows, driven by Don Johnson, and a replica of the Ferrari F430 was used in the Pixar movie Cars. ...

...My dream car When most people think about their dream car, they fantasize and dream cars such as a Lamborghini, Bugatti, Maybach Exelero, Porsche, Lykan Hypersport, Ferrari, Mercedes Benz, Aston Martin One-77, etc. However, some people like to keep it simple. I am one of those people. I do not dream about over the line expensive cars, I dream about a car that fits both my current and future needs as well as what’s best for the planet. My dream car is a Smart fortwo Brabus. This is my dream car because for eight reasons. Those reasons include style, high gas mileage, maneuvers well, the comfortable feeling, easy to clean, I don't have to take someone who I don't want in my car, the storage compartment in the back and technology. I have a car which is named Chevrolet Geo-Metro which was introduced in 1992. It is not a car many teens who be happy to say they own. I have seen many different cars but this car is something different. This car has an engine of 3-Cyl, 1.0 Liter with the 55-79 horsepower and 58-75 lb. of torque. This Geo-Metro has some smooth features in it such as the hard roof, seatbelts that are connected to the windows and its unique shape which gives an edgy look. In addition, the Chevrolet Geo-Metro has manual gears in it. It can catch the speed of 55 mph in a matter of seconds. The fastest car ever right? I know that maybe slow to others. But nowadays there are faster and bigger cars than the Geo-Metro. I have a dream of having a Smart fortwo Brabus...

...“Analysis dreaming according to the dream activation synthesis theory” The activation-synthesis theory explains us that the messages of dreams are not a meaning. They are only processing of brain system when we sleep. The chemicals in the brain transmit message from one nerve cell to another. This electrical energy randomly stimulates memories found in various area of the brain. Also, we have a need to make sense of our world and even while asleep. The brain takes these chaotic memories and creates a logical story line. This theory best explains my dream which I will describe as follows. In my dream, I met giant cockroaches which were taller than I was. I felt very scared because they were very big and they tried to attack me. I ran fast but I could not escape since there were many of them. Then I woke up with a start. On another day, I dreamed that I was driving on the road skillfully and quickly. While I drove past many cars from left to right and right to left, I felt very proud of my driving skill. Therefore, I will show the relation between real life and dream. In the first case, I had seen a cockroach while taking a shower before going to bed. It ran to my leg, and I very do not like them. That represents my concerns about cockroaches and I clearly remember according to the activation synthesis theory. The second dream happened when I was young. I wanted to be a sports car driver in that time because I thought it was very smart. Also at that time, I think about them...

...things, belongings and experiences. This desire for money paralyses them in that they can’t do anything to achieve their dreams. So even though Milkman and Guitar’s financial situation in their childhood is different, their longing to be rich and have money is equally strong, leaving them paralyzed. However, Milkman is able to escape the stillness in his life and does more than just “yearn”, he works towards achieving his dreams. Growing up Milkman and Guitar develop a different view on money because of their families wealth. In his childhood, Milkman had everything he wanted and grew up being the center of attention. As his family is driving down Not Doctor Street the reaction of the neighbors is described as, “In 1936 there were very few among them who lived as well as Macon Dead. Others watched the family gliding by with a tiny bit of jealousy and a whole lot of amusement…” (Morrison 32). The author is showing a picture in which Milkman and his family are better than everyone else, especially better than most black people. They live a life which is unknown to their community. They are different, special and have everything they need and want. The words “jealousy” and “amusement” show the feelings that others had towards them but “respect” is not one of them. Everybody watches from a distance wishing they could be driving the Green Packard. The movement of the car, which is described as “gliding”,...

...bath. What!? These are the kind of silly and seemingly unexplainable instances that occur in our unconscious sleep every night when we go to bed. Contrary to what you may think, these ridiculous dreams that almost resemble cartoons more than real life, do actually have a significant impact on our emotional state, and for the most part are based on our own anxieties, desires, and memories. In this essay I’m going to attempt to analyze a current dream I’ve had and interpret the meaning and origin of this dream using the sources available to me. I’m standing on a steep grass hill, looking out over a shallow and narrow valley that appears to have been cut of the landscape like a spoon would do to a tub of ice cream. Inside this crevice is a highway I’ve never seen before, with cars zooming down the road at high speeds. Above the highway is an overpassing bridge with more fast and noisy cars. On the opposite side of this speedway that I’m standing along is my beloved dog, who I’ve raised since he was six weeks old. He’s going into traffic and I’m scrambling to get to him on the other side of this speedway, but there’s too many cars coming for me to get across. Just before it seems my dog is going to become road kill, or I’m going to be flattened trying to save him, I either woke up or the dream stopped and switched to something else. So what does this mean? Sigmund Freud, who was a pioneer for...

I am also a person strives and dreams for this picture of perfection.

...people suffering from diseases because they aren't getting enough food. Chapter 2 Now we're in Dr. William Haber's office. Haber's staring at a giant photograph of Mt. Hood. Haber is distracted from the painting when George Orr walks into his office. George is thin, has fair hair and eyes, and seems like the most ordinary guy you could ever meet. Haber is a sleep doctor, and he guesses that George has been trying to stop his dreams. Well, it turns out that's a pretty dangerous thing. Something that could even be deadly. It takes a while, but George finally tells Dr. Haber why he's been avoiding dreaming: his dreams change things. The dreams don't just come true, and they're not just prophetic—they actually change reality. George tells the story of the first time he was sure he changed reality. He was 17, and he had an aunt who kept trying to have sex with him. One night, he had a dream in which she was killed in a car crash, and when he woke up, his aunt was gone. It's not that she left: the past was actually totally different. She was killed in a car crash, so she was...

...Dare To Dream The beauty of dreaming is amazing, it can take you anywhere in reality. What I dream of is a goal to be set, it is a journey to be taken. When I dream, I force myself to take the challenge and walk into unknown grounds to bring everything I dream into a reality. Some of these day time dreams would come to reality, like the time I dreamed of becoming good in math, but some dreams are not meant to be and other could be way to far from our hands. Some when realized fulfill you of happiness and you just want to live in that moment. I believe that dreams are like a treasure to be search for and discovered. The first time I found myself chasing my dreams was when I was in the fifth grade. It all started by the middle of the last semester, we were learning long division, but my background in math was really bad. I was lucky to know how to add. I was never a good student, but it was difficult for me to concentrate and pay attention. During class I would picture myself being the best in every subject, especially math. I desired that dream to be true more than anything, so I decided to bring it to life. First I tried to concentrate, but it was difficult. Months passed and I kept struggling with long divisions. One day I was trying to solve a long division for my homework, I started to analyze the equation and ask myself questions about it, then I discovered how to solve them. At the end of the year I was awarded a diploma for my achievement in math. Ever since, I...

...My most recent dream that I can remember was about three weeks ago. I was dreaming about animals I can’t remember what animal but I do recall it being big and furry. In my dream the animal was chasing me and I didn’t have anywhere to run so I jump on top of a car and just stood there screaming. When I woke up I was in my bed screaming and jump out the bed because I thought the animal was in my bed. I ran into my sister’s room turn on her light and started jumping in her bed. When my sister woke up she was asking me what was wrong and I told her there was a brown furry animal in my bed. We went in my room and it was my brown furry blanket. I always seem dream about animals or anything that I afraid of in real life. I believe that if I can conquer my everyday fears my dreams will not be so real to me because I always wake up scared. Psychoanalytic perspective I keep having dreams about animals because of my fear or them but I believe if I can conquer my fears in my dreams maybe I will not be as afraid in real life. Biological perspective I believe this dream happened because I am always thinking that palmetto bugs or any time of bug is in my house or room. I think for a cognitive perspective this dream is trying to help me deal with my everyday experiences because I have a fear of all type of animals and bugs. I have noticed since I relocated to Charlotte from New York I have been having these dreams more. I find myself dreaming of Palmetto bugs all the time and I am...
